4 strange Suicide.

Or. Saturday last John S Thorburn,
of this city, committed suicide by
hanging himself in his own barn; and
it appears that he prepared for the ter
rible deed in the most deliberate man.
ner. He was about seventy years of
age, and Scotchman by birth He was
a stone mason by trade, but had retired
from active work for number of
years. He lived with his aged wife in
a pleasant stone house in the north
east portion Of the city, and was con-
sidered to be in comfortable circum-
stances. He lived a very quiet, reser-
we'd life, and for some time before his
death was afflicted with disease-an
affection of the stomach, which had
become chronic and incurable. A short
time before his death his disease
seemed to bear very heavily upon him,
and he was very much cast down in
spirit. During the week he made his
will and remarked at the time that
he did not expect to live long as his
heart did not feel right. After max
ing his will he telegraphed to Mr..
Black, a nephew. who lives in Cal
ifornia, to come to him Immediately.
and Mr.. Black answered that he would
come at once. On Saturday forenoon,
at her husbands request, Mrs. Thorburn
went to town on some errand. On her
return she found note written by her
husband and stating that the affection
of disease had induced him to put an
end to his existence. She raised an
alarm, and upon search being made,
his dead body was found hanging in
the barn. An inquest was held on
evening, and a verdict rem
dered that he met his death at his own
hands. The funeral was held on Mon
day afternoon, when the body was laid
to rest in the city cemetery.

of City Hall Officers.
MINNEAPOLIS, April 6.-The democratic
council will probably make clean sweep
of the city hall officers and the candidates
were to-day discussing the chances for the
different places. For city attorney there
are being mentioned A. D. Smith, Charles
Baxter and John L. Byrnes. City Clerk
Selah Matthews said this morning that he
was going to die without a will and many
of the democrats say that Adjutant John
E. Ward will succeed Mr.. Matthews. He
has many friends in the party who will
spare nothing to put him there. City En-
gineer Rinker will probably be re-
appointed, as also the meat inspector, DR..
John T. Lee, both being democrats. DR..
Dunn is mentioned as candidate to sue
ceed Mr.. Van Cleve as city physician and
DR.. Avery, the defeated democratic candi-
date for alderman in the Eighth ward, as
health officer, to succeed DR.. Quinby.

when Haddock was killed; was at the
meeting on the I'd of August; was not a
private meeting tony knowledge; nothing
said in my presence about doing up any
one.
The witness then made detailed de-
NAL of the movements and language at
tributed to him in the testimony of Leavitt.
He had conversed with Leavitt at the lat
ter's theatre, but had not discussed the
killing of Haddock. The witness knew
Bismarck and wife, but denied the truth of
the important part of their testimony re-
lating to him. He knew of no conspiracy
to injure anyone, and had no idea where
Haddock was that night. When cross-ex-
amined by the state the witness testimony
was characterized by sweeping denials of
all the damaging testimony relating to
him given by other witnesses.
